Learn Why Businesses are Choosing YottaVault

Through the deployment of YottaVault, businesses are now rethinking the position of data within their priority list of “important business assets”. The aspect of “data loss” as a business problem, has been historically and typically solved through the use of tapes and/or discs. Data loss prevention has also “typically” been the sole responsibility of the IT department (in house or out sourced) with management considering or assuming it “to be taken care of” or “having it covered”.

YottaVault now provides “compelling” reasons to reconsider yesterday’s assumptions and methodologies.  Businesses are now realizing a new status in the organization for mission critical data. As a result, businesses are selecting YottaVault to protect their mission critical data to enable rapid recovery when data loss occurs.

YottaVault permits every business to classify and protect their data based on the level of importance within their individual organization. The classification process allows a business to recognize the value, the criticality and the implications of their specific data that is the life blood of the business. Although data does not appear on the asset sheet, when it comes to operating on a daily basis, a business cannot function without the data that critical applications depend on. This data is truly priceless and a risk that must be mitigated.

Once organizations conclude that their “mission critical data” requires the ultimate in security, safety and rapid recoverability they choose YottaVault! YottaVault meets the needs of every organization when considering the business, financial and technological aspects of running a business.

Let us demonstrate how YottaVault protects and prepares your organization for any disaster. Remember,
“It’s all about Recovery!”

Compliance

Businesses are faced with new information management challenges from many different sources.  One of the primary focus points for any company’s is to comply with regulatory requirements and maintain compliance with federal and state privacy laws such as, but not limited to The Graham-Leach-Biley Act, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX),  Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI) and e-Discovery.

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act
Also known as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), Pub. L. No. 106-102, 113 Statute 1338 of November 12, 1999, is an act of the United States Congress to repeal the Glass-Steagall Act. This opened up competition among securities companies, insurance companies, and banks. The GLBA permitted investment banks and commercial banks to consolidate. The key rules for compliance under the Act include:

Financial Institutions
“Financial Institutions” as defined by the GLBA are companies that offer and/or provide financial
services or products, such as loans, insurance, and/or investment or financial advice to individuals.
Financial Institutions include:

• Banks
• certain investment or financial advisers
• loan brokers
• mortgage lenders (other than banks)
• real estate settlement services providers
• accountants, CPAs, tax preparers and
• debt collectors

The Safeguards Rule
This rulerequires that all financial institutions design, implement, and maintain safeguards to protect all customer financial information. This rule applies not only to financial institutions that collect this information, but also to financial institutions that receive this information, such as credit reporting agencies, etc.                                                                                                                              

The rule also requires all financial institutions to develop a written information security plan which describes how the company is prepared for, and plans to protect their clients’ personal non-public information. The plan must include:

• Develop a strict risk management policy for each department that handles non-public personal information.
• At least one employee to monitor the safeguards
• Design, test, and monitor a method to protect the information
• Modify the safeguards when needed based on changes in how the information is collected, stored, and used

The Safeguards Rule mandates that financial institutions look closer at the processes of how they handle and manage non-public personal information and perform risk analysis on these processes.

None of these processes is perfect, but this rule means all financial institutions must make an effort to comply with the GLBA. (Subtitle A: Disclosure of Non-public Personal Information, codified at 15 U.S.C. s 6801 through 15 U.S.C. s 6809)  

Enforcement of the GLBA
The United States Attorney General may take civil action against violators of the GLBA. The
penalties under the Financial Institution Privacy Protection Act of 2003  include:

• A civil penalty of not more than $100,000 for each violation
• The directors and officers shall be subject to and personally liable for, a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 for each violation

The Health Industry Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
(enacted by the United States Congress in 1996)

The Health Industry Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), basically has an impact on every health-related organization in the United States, as it enforces standards for the privacy and protection of all health that can be linked to an individual. Organizations must provide the physical safeguards and technical procedures to secure and maintain the privacy of Personal Health Information (PHI). Non-compliance carries stiff civil and criminal penalties.

• Title I of HIPAA  - Protection of health insurance for workers and their families when changing or losing their jobs
  • Title II of HIPAA – Requires that national standards for electronic health care transactions be established and that national identifiers for health insurance plans, providers of the insurance plans, and employers be implemented. Also referred to as the Administrative Simplification (AS) provisions. The AS provisions also deal with privacy and security of health care information.

  The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX)
  Also known as the Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act of 2002 (Pub. L. No. 107-204, 116 Statute 745) is commonly referred to as Sarbox or SOX. Due to major corporate scandals and accounting malpractices by companies such as Enron, Peregrine Systems, Tyco International, and WorldCom, this United States federal law was enacted on July 30, 2002. This law establishes standards, either new or enhanced, for all publicly traded companies. The law places many requirements on the company’s board of directors, management, and its public accounting firms.

  • Data, in sufficient detail, must be retained for a minimum of 7 years
  • Multiple versions of the data may be needed to retrace the steps of the audit
  • All correspondence, text documents, emails, images, etc. must be available
  • The Management must develop and maintain adequate internal controls and processes
  • The Related material must not be altered under penalty of law

  Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI)
  The major credit card companies organized the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council in order to provide world-wide open standards for account protection and data security. The data security standards of this council have been adopted by all major credit card and payment providers. The standards are also known as “PCI data security standards”.

  e-Discovery
  Recent changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) requires organization to understand and manage Electronically Stored Information (ESI) in a new way and necessitates the active engagement of the business, legal and IT departments. The FRCP are court rules for civil lawsuits conducted in the US federal courts. The rules were significantly amended to address specifically the treatment of electronic information (ESI). The amendments went into effect December 1, 2006. Electronic discovery is the process of finding, preserving and producing electronic information in the context of lawsuits, investigations, audits and other matters.
